With a house that big why would you put the washer and dryer in the kitchen?

See this a lot in old houses that don’t get major renovations. House was built before washer/dryers existed so the only rooms that had plumbing were the kitchen and bathrooms. If you don’t want to pay to add plumbing to another section of the house, the kitchen is usually the only room big enough to fit the appliances.

Actually not in a bad neighborhood. Across 90 from archbishop shaw high school john Ehret is miles away. Houses behind there are decent. It’s just more of a commercial area being one block from hwy 90. Probably pretty noisy with the expressway

Such a bizarre location for what it is but I can only imagine what the area looked like in 1930. Wonder if this was his final home or just an earlier one?

The best part is knowing TulaneLSU is still with us. More post please

It’s probably got a couple businesses ne t to it that would make it such a great deal.

Probably walking distance to a gas station called something like Al’s market.

A fried chicken store

A cell phone repair store.

That’s some serious value to me

Is a scavenger hunt on this property really a good idea?

I guess it could be worse if they did it at Churchill Farms behind Mosca's.
